Hello everyone,

It seems I am a bit late but here is what I think.
I'm a bit sad that the discussed thread lead to this. I know discussion
have been heated recently and it would've been great if it were avoided.
But hey, it happens.

On the particular pull request I agree that it could have been worded
better, however this is somehow a false problem: when reviewing pull
request one's look at all the commit and the whole diff before merging.
If you want to take a quick look at what a PR changes, I think one should
look at the individual commit messages.

I also happen to group not-so-much related stuff into pull request so I may
be biased.

About the code change itself, I am not familiar enough with czmq (I mostly
write C++, dont' hate me :) ) to discuss the "store as ascii" but would
like to point out that in zmqpp we store integer in network byte order for
our push/pop functions. Maybe this is worth discussing (for consistency
reason), but this particular mail thread is probably the wrong place.
